 Rating: 4/5, available from Herbfarmacy, £17.50 (excl. p&p), and Lovelula, £17.50 (excl. p&p).

Created by botanist Dr Paul Richards, Herbfarmacy grows and produces handmade batches of their products in their Herefordshire based farm. Certified organic, all herbs grown have been lovingly selected to moisturise, protect and nourish the skin.

Every girl should carry around an all-purpose oil for make-up slip ups, warding off the effects of air conditioning, for under-nourished skin, or just to be used as a boost on a bad day. In truth, everyone should carry some face oil around, but convincing the guys I know to use moisturiser or to step away from their 3for2 Nivea cream is like trying to switch football dates on the calendar. It's just not happening.

The thing about face oil is that it has to be used sparingly, in the instance that you use too much you end up with a sheen that won't budge and angry skin threatening to break out if you don't get it some air! With that in mind, this face oil has lasted me ages and has saved me from make-up mishaps (see lavera revisited),  has woke my skin up on the train ride home after a long day at work, and of course has helped to nourish my face on grey days.

The only niggly difficulty about the product is that because there's just a screw cap on the top, it's easy to pour out more than you had meant to and oily hands are not your clothes best friend.
